If I could give 10 stars I would

If I could give 10 stars I would If I could give 10 stars I would Such an amazing service so needed during the times when EDD almost never picks up Claimyr gets me on the phone with EDD every time without fail faster. A much needed service without Claimyr I would have never received the payment I needed to support me during my postpartum recovery. Thank you so much Claimyr!


Really made a difference

Really made a difference, save me time and energy from going to a local office for making the call.


Worth not wasting your time calling for hours.

Was a bit nervous or untrusting at first, but my calls went thru. First time the wait was a bit long but their customer chat line on their page was helpful and put me at ease that I would receive my call. Today my call dropped because of EDD and Claimyr heard my concern on the same chat and another call was made within the hour.


An incredibly helpful service

An incredibly helpful service! Got me connected to a CA EDD agent without major hassle (outside of EDD's agents dropping calls – which Claimyr has free protection for). If you need to file a new claim and can't do it online, pay the $ to Claimyr to get the process started. Absolutely worth it!


Consistent,frustration free, quality Service.

Used this service a couple times now. Before I'd call 200 times in less than a weak frustrated as can be. But using claimyr with a couple hours of waiting i was on the line with an representative or on hold. Dropped a couple times but each reconnected not long after and was mission accomplished, thanks to Claimyr.


IT WORKS!! Not a scam!

I tried for weeks to get thru to EDD PFL program with no luck. I gave this a try thinking it may be a scam. OMG! It worked and They got thru within an hour and my claim is going to finally get paid!! I upgraded to the $60 call. Best $60 spent!

Just remember that if you were fired for misconduct or quit without good cause, you might not qualify. Also don't lie about anything because they check everything and fraud penalties are no joke.

Good luck! I remember being just as confused when I first filed. Once you get the hang of the weekly claims it becomes routine. Just stay on top of it and don't miss any weeks.

I had trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor when I needed to check on my claim status after being fired. Kept getting busy signals for weeks. Found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me connected to a real person at NYS Department of Labor in like 20 minutes. They have a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI. Might be worth trying if you run into the same phone issues I did.

interesting, never heard of that before. did they charge you anything?

Yeah there's a fee but honestly it was worth it to actually talk to someone instead of calling 100 times a day. Saved me so much stress.

Most people who get fired do qualify unless it's like theft or something really bad. Performance stuff usually doesn't count as misconduct in NY.

Look, the system is set up to deny benefits to people who quit, period. They'll find any excuse to say you didn't have good enough cause. I've seen people with documented harassment get denied because they didn't follow some bureaucratic procedure. If you absolutely have to quit, make sure you have rock solid documentation and even then be prepared to fight for months.

maybe try talking to your manager first before quitting? sometimes they dont realize how bad things are

0 coins

I've tried that multiple times already. The problem is my manager IS the problem, if you know what I mean.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS SO SLOW! I waited almost a month and had to call like 50 times before anyone would tell me what was happening with my claim. They act like they're doing you a favor when it's YOUR money you paid into the system!

Just be patient - I know it's stressful but 6 days really isn't that long in unemployment processing time. Keep an eye on your my.ny.gov account and make sure you file your weekly claims. Since it was a store closure, you shouldn't have any issues with approval.

If you're having trouble getting through to NYS Department of Labor by phone to ask questions (their lines are always busy), I recently used a service called Claimyr that helped me reach an actual agent quickly. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/qyftW-mnTNI showing how it works. Saved me hours of calling and getting busy signals when I needed to check my claim status.

Interesting, never heard of that. How much does something like that cost though?

0 coins

They focus on the value of actually reaching someone rather than sitting on hold all day. For me it was worth it just to get real answers about my adjudication instead of guessing what was happening with my claim.

0 coins

yeah file right away but be prepared for the runaround... NYS Department of Labor system is such a mess, took me forever to even get my account set up properly and then had issues with the weekly claims. just saying dont get your hopes up for smooth sailing
